Clock

Sometimes we feel we have so much time in our hands. But reality is, our time is in God’s hands. I am a control freak. I panic when I feel that something is not going my way, or at least how I planned it to be. I have recently learned (or should I say, I am recently learning) to surrender my clock to the Master. Because honestly, when I look back, things may not have turned out the way I imagined, but always according to His plan and time, for my good (actually, best) and His glory.

I dreamt of having kids right away after marriage, He gave me many kids to love and teach, face to face and virtually. I always wish I’d be a famous author, He used me to bring people to Him, through devotionals and inspirational books. I wanted to take up Masters, because I felt the need to feel qualified. He qualified and equipped me for His work. I never thought of teaching writing, He has used and is still using me to mentor kids, teens, adults, and soon families, to journal through His Word and write devotionals to bring others to Him. I never found myself qualified to mentor parents, for I am not a parent myself, but He continues to use me as an education consultant for parents and teachers alike. He has planted that love and concern for children and their families, that I may be a vessel of His grace, to guide, to teach, and to mold the future.

I am still looking forward to what God has in-store for me. More workshops and mentoring sessions? Sure! More devotionals to inspire people? Yes! More families and kids to love and hearts to touch? My heart flutters! A child in my mid-thirties? Amen, yes please! Through it all, I am surrendering my life, my clock, my all to HIM who is from eternity to eternity. All glory be to God alone!
